iOS 18.2 Beta 2 Shows Siri ChatGPT Limit, Offers 'Plus' Upgrade Option

[MacRumors]

With the second beta of iOS 18.2 that's available for developers today, Apple has further fleshed out the ChatGPT integration that's available with Siri. In the Settings app, there's now a section that shows the ChatGPT daily limit, and offers an option to upgrade to the paid ChatGPT Plus plan.

The beta includes an Advanced Capabilities section with a "Daily Limit" reading that shows up as "Under Limit" without a paid ChatGPT plan. Users have access to a small number of requests that use the most advanced ChatGPT capabilities, and requests are downgraded to a basic version of ChatGPT after that.

OpenAI has long restricted access to ChatGPT's most advanced feature set to a paid Plus plan, so accessing ChatGPT through Siri is subject to the same limitations.

There is an option to upgrade to ChatGPT Plus, which is priced at $19.99 per month. ChatGPT Plus provides 5x more messages on the newest version of ChatGPT, GPT-4o. It also allows for higher limits on photo and file uploads, image generation, and web browsing, as well as an option to converse with ChatGPT using advanced voice mode.

Customers who already have a ChatGPT Plus plan can sign into their account, and those that do not can sign up through the Settings app. The Settings app opens to an in-app browser where users can sign up directly with OpenAI.

Free access to ChatGPT-4o requests resets every 24 hours, and when the limited number of requests are used up, Siri will switch to a more cost effective version of ChatGPT. The free plan limits creation with DALL-E 3 to two images per day.

I was hoping this somehow wouldn’t be the case, but can’t say I’m surprised.

 

[Openbox72]

Ha-ha-ha )))

 

[JaylenFast]

Yikes. Baked-in tools with subscriptions.

 

[sniffies]

Day 1: disable it

"The ChatGPT integration is privacy centered. But you have limits if you don't tell us who you are"

It would be great if this is open for other providers, like Claude or any of the open source LLMs. Hopefully Apple will do this themselves, so Europe won’t need to enforce this.

 

[redbeard331]

I made like 50 images the other day, what limit?

 

[acgmph]

If you already subscribe this won't be an issue. I think Apple needs to add other providers as well, not just OpenAI, and then maybe offer a bundle that you can select whichever one you want for "Plus" and then use that instead of ChatGPT. These models improve at different speeds, and some folks might want to use another one until ChatGPT catches up.

That’s nice. This trash will never be installed on any device I use.

 

[Apple Employee #1]

This is horrible news.

There's no limits on this for now since images (playground) and genmojis are part of Apple Intelligence, not ChatGPT.

 

[grantishere]

Having limits tied to your device requires some sort of identifier, which identifiers are not just used for limits...

 

[Account25476]

Thank you EU so I don't have this adware on my phone for now

 

[bmark]

This is the way it is in the chatgpt application! No one should be surprised by this.

 

[california_kid]

pretty soon we will be able to pay for upgrading our USB-C port to full data speeds.

 

[tomtad]

Can we get this crap out of the OS please

 

[swiftapplefan]

Yeah, I knew unlimited ChatGPT images were too good to be true. But what if I stay on 15.2 Beta 1

 

[redbeard331]

I wish apples playground worked this well.

 

[CarAnalogy]

Ah, there's that other shoe that I was waiting to drop!

 

[Seoras]

I'm delighted but then that's because I'm an OpenAI subscriber and I get early access (Tier 5 user) to their latest models (I've been using the new o1's since they were announced).
I did wonder if I'd be limited on iOS to the free models only but if this is the case then it's great news!
I'm sure the free models will be fine for most users.
I use the advanced ones mostly for software development.
Hoping Apple includes OpenAI into Xcode to save me screen swapping.
Android studio already has Google's Gemini.

 

[daniesy]

So basically apple intelligence is just a ChatGPT wrapper?

 

[1Peace]

What is Apple cut? 30%?🙂

 

[Mashnin]

Why doesn't Apple charge their 30% fee on this one?

"The ChatGPT integration is privacy centered. But you have limits if you don't tell us who you are"

And it has already been stated that once you sign in, the OpenAI privacy policy applies. So the privacy aspect might become just a token gesture, if one really uses the feature and needs to sign in.
